i got a saz 1500d 2005 chevy colorado and a fi bl 15". i was just wondering for the the power/ground wire, it says its recommended 0 gauge wires. but i have 4 gauge. will it be ok to use it or will it damage the amp and/or go into protection? has anyone used 4 awg for that amp?

how much will each amp do at 0.5 ohms? i heard 2200 each, and strapped they would do around 4200. is this correct? also, has anyone wired it to 0.5 ohms and ran it daily? if so, did you have any problems with it?

for the q get the sae. for the bl get the saz.

I am trying to help my cousin with his setup, but i'm not sure what would be better for him. he has a chevy colorado ext cab. he's set on buying an fi sub, but hes torn between 1 btl and 2 bl's. He is mainly going for dialy spl. details: colorado ext cab. sundown 3000d. kinetik 3800 220A iraggi alt. big three. now my question is, what would be best for spl? 2 12 inch bl's or 1 15" btl. the bl's will have more cone area, but the btl's are built to be louder. (considering the boxes are built to fi's optimal recommendations) all comments are welcomed, thanks.

bump for some help. i plan on purchasing them this weekend.

truck - 05 chevy colorado amp - sundown 3500d elec - 2 kinetik 2000hc's. big three. box - 4.5 cubic feet tuned @ 32 hz. two 12 bls' or two 12 btl's? looking for spl. but i also want musical daily driving. i know bl's are more musical and btl's are more loud but i wanna know if one has a significant amount of sq or spl compared to the other. example (not saying its true) : bl's and q's are not much of a difference sq wise, but bl's get very noticably louder.

LOL SERIOUSLY?!?! i think i may get the bl just cuz its name haha jk. i guess btl it is

k..but i still wanna be able to listen daily music to it....like rap, hawaiian, rock and all different kinds. is the btl that much different than the bl sq wise? The quality of the sound has a great deal to do with the set up and install. There are plenty of people running the BTL's daily. As BTL = Built To Last. thanks. ive always wondered that haha. what is bl and q?

k..but i still wanna be able to listen daily music to it....like rap, hawaiian, rock and all different kinds. is the btl that much different than the bl sq wise?

i thought anything less than 2000 rms you should go BL? so wouldnt 3500 be less than 2000 per sub?? just saying.... i say bl's.

u should browse the forums for your answer. maybe the technical section of fi forums. search the forums before asking questions like this. btw. its called nightshade, not sunshade LOL.

.....

im leaning towards the bl's actually. only problem is i can get a used 9515 for $400. if i get bl's im gonna spend around twice that much for 2 12's.......

so basically fi is the way to go? but then again....ssa forums are loaded with fi users and supporters. i bet if i went to soundpressure forums they would all say the 9500 ha. does anyone here have experience with the 9500?

yes i do plan on getting one. i just dont have it right now. i just have what is posted. so whats your thoughts?

It is so far from a one word answer it is not funny. There are way too many unknowns to give an exact answer. Both are high output woofers, but so much is dependant on the enclosure. The pair of 15's should naturally by louder due to cone surface, but there are too many other factors to know for sure. At SSA we care about the details and not mindless inexperienced answers. So let's work on more info to help going in the right direction. In the end the answer will not be known until tested in your install. ok details. amp- sundown 3500d electrical- big 3, 3800 hc kinetik, truck- colorado box- dd 4.25 cuft tuned at 32 fi- 6 cuft tuned at 32 anything else needed?

no im talking about ONE DD 9515 compared to TWO twelve bl's

.....

.

is there much difference in the low end? what about output? i hear only 2 DBs. true or not?

you guessed right lol. alright cool thanks. now i just gotta trust my box making skills lol.

im tuning it to 30 hz. in 5 ft^3. dammm...i cant decide lol. i want sq but i dont wanna sacrifice output at the same time.

im just gonna pay 170 for wire and installation. i rather do that than pay $120 for wires and fuse blocks and stuff and install it myself

$5 a foot at a nearby store. expensive im guessing i would need about 20 ft? so $100 for dam wire
